   Ghosting HD limits???

   I have Win ME today, didn't see the NG for it, found this, didn't see recent   
   answers, thought I'd post.   
      
   Problem (perhaps)   
      
   Just "ghosted" old 5GB to new 160GB HD. Thanks Symantec rep for the NFR   
   copy. Thanks Circuit City for letting me return the old drive that was   
   returned late.   
      
   Apparently system needs BIOS upgrade to see the drive. More later.   
      
   I'd like to create a 2nd partition on HD, for instance making one 100GB, one   
   60GB.  My FDISK didn't seem to want to be able to do that. Something about   
   no available space (now we all know there's plenty of room). Is that because   
   Ghost? Or is that normal?   
      
   I never FDISKed the drive, I never formatted the drive, I just "ghosted".   
   That's it. I'm working from it now, so something worked. But I know my job   
   isn't over.   
      
   Anyone have a pointer for what is probably a 30 second answer to something   
   that could take this typist 6 months to figure out and still not get right?   
      
   Just wondering...
